One of my favorite memories captured on camera is an Easter photo from back in the day - I must've been 11 or under. It's me and my mother standing in our living room and colliding dyed eggs, an Eastern Orthodox tradition. I was wearing a deep blue long sleeve dress - hitting right below the knee - with red stockings and the most hideous multicolored crochet long vest, which I vividly remember protesting against.

Any picture with an adorably clueless kid is pretty cute, but the real showstopper here was my mom. Tailored striped blazer, nice blouse, mid-thigh skirt with what I assume to be unintentionally hip large-frame glasses and a blonde lob. My jaw drops with pride every time I see that photo.

These days, my mommy still rocks it in the style department. I love the way she's adapted her look to her age and current needs in terms of comfort level and activities. We usually have a very different outlook on fashion - hers a bit more conservative than mine. And sometimes (but really only sometimes), we end up liking the same thing!

In the case of these Blue Spice high-waisted ankle skinnies, not only did we purchase the exact same pair, but we even took a page out of each other's stylebook. I thought it would be fun to showcase an everyday look on both our ends. This time, I ended up being the conservative one, with a simple top which accentuates the outfit's colors and accessories. My mom went to town with the funky prints and colors which perfectly compliment her skin.
